| Bubs' room (last year) but its still his room. And I want it to be my studio. So this is a before shot! |
The plan was /is to move Bub into the guest room - and use his box room for my studio..... and first thing was to get black out blinds made for the guest room - no point putting a small child into a room that has light blaring into it at night and early in the morning, right! SO I started making the blinds, and got half way and stalled.... and stalled. Its not that I couldn't do it. its just that it confused me and I didn't do it because of that. And eventually I met someone who makes roman blinds. So they are now done. (still got to collect the damn things and put them up in the room, then have to get rid of a double bed and 2 double mattresses, which requires a van... or paying someone....or maybe there is another solution I haven't thought of yet...) and getting the single bed down from the attic, and painting it...
But for some reason a big stumbling block is asking Hubby. WHY?!! really, just because sometimes I feel I get shouted at about things, its not like that always AT ALL!!! I had got all stuck in my head that it was wrong for me to want that space for my studio because Hub earns 85% of the household income and he needs an office....

So today I thought about it, and it does seem daft to be paying £40 (ish) a week to get some studio space, when we have the room at home. SO I asked Hub. I suggested that we could make an office for him in the bedroom, put some shelves up and make it neat, and I would take out ALL my creative (very messy!!) stuff (yup there are piles of it lying around!) and put it in Ted's old room and have that as a studio! And he could have a nice neat office in the bedroom (we need to be able to shut the door to it so Bub doesn't wander in when he is on the phone or whatever......... And he LIKED the idea. So am all fired up AGAIN.
AND I have found a travel agent re looking into the cheapest and best way of getting to San Francisco in October. They are going to get back to me. Funny but even though I have had 'permission' to go, I have held off looking at flights or booking them... slightly scared! why?? I don't know. But there you go first step taken.
Isn't it daft how half the things we want are just there for the taking, if we would only just take that first tiny step towards it?

Hi Moyra, it all sound very exciting especially support from him indoors. What about freecycle for the bed and mattresses. Its handy when people collect but also brilliant that it isn't wasted.

Sounds great, glad hub is supportive.
Re the bed, why not try giving it away on Freecycle if you don't want it any more? That way you wouldn't have to pay to get rid of it, AND you're helping somebody out.
Re San Francisco, sounds exciting! Maybe you are holding back because of Bub? I know when Will was younger I found I couldn't bring myself to go further than a couple of hours' flight away from him (but I'm a born worrier, totally paranoid!), and although I still never have, I think I would find it easier now. My sis in law is going to Las Vegas for her brother's wedding in Oct, and is really struggling with being that far away from her kids for several days.
freecycle. brilliant idea. hmm and maybe it is Bub. I do actually want to take him with me, but I think it would be a bit hard on him to fly that far.... on the other hand, my desire to go is very strong too...
If it helps at all, we flew long haul with Will when he was about Bub's age with no problems at all - the seat back TV with endless children's programmes, aeroplane food and a bit of a nap seemed to keep him occupied and before we knew it, we had arrived.
Jet lag only lasted for a day or so before he adjusted to the new time - in fact as I recall, he adjusted more quickly than the adults!
